Good Works Diet

A common mistake for people who want to lose weight is to go on a fad diet. They will eat only certain amounts of certain foods for a certain period of time. While they may quickly. Shed the pounds, afterwards they gain back even more. Why? Because they did not change their eating habits.
As Christians we often do the same thing, but instead of trying to shed the pounds we try to shed sin. We girls often think that if we look a certain way then we will be loved and accepted. Christians tend to think that if we act a certain way then we will get to heaven. Just like a fad diet, these "good work diets" leave you worse off than when you began. These "diets" blind you to your true spiritual state.
The real trick to being skinny is changing your lifestyle, so it is with being righteous. Being like JESUS will get you nowhere, instead you must be with JESUS. When you are with GOD you can not be sinning. If you were sinning you would not be able to stand in HIS presence, and it is only when we are in HIS presence that we can be truly righteous. Good works come from GOD, GOD does not come from them.
Today I challenge you to stop dieting and change your lifestyle.

GODs grace be with you,

Hope you all have been filled with blessings and fun adventures through out the holidays and into the new year!:)
Thank you- Jacqueline Snyder, I am honored to be able to write to all of your viewers!
To start out this new adventure with Faith Blog, I'd like to begin telling you all a little bit about myself.
My name is Katie Jones and I'm 16 yrs old living in Amarillo Tx, I have been homeschooled by my lovely mother as of 8th grade and I wouldn't trade home schooling for public school any day. Two years ago I was inspired by a bright young lady that happened to be my youth leader who traveled the world with YWAM (youth with a mission), a mission to spread God's word or giving the gift that I have always grown up with...Jesus Christ. Right when I thought I couldnt wait till I would graduate High school to travel, I got a letter from People to people student ambassador to travel to Australia. I went June 2011 for 17 days and had the time of my life and now am saving up to go to Europe.
So I have some idea's of what I should do a series on but I'd like you to put in your idea's...
what are your thoughts, idea's, comments, etc?
I'd love to hear them!:)
Dont forget.... I have a blog you can check out called Wild at Heart,
 you can visit it at http://www.katelyn-wildatheart.blogspot.com/
